Dear Lesley,
Thank you for all the hard work you've done up to now. Between you and Mel the Forum is doing well, and although I do have some ideas about how it can play a greater part in the life of the IGKT, none of them would be possible without the foundation you built.
Enjoy the trip of a lifetime, and post us occasionally to say G'day!
Oh - I guess this applies to Webadmin as well as to Secretaries:
IT'S A HARD LIFE
If the Secretary writes tactfully, he's verbose;
If he is brief, he's tactless.
If he drafts a report, he's wrong;
If he doesn't, there's nothing to work on.
If he speaks to the Committee, he's butting in;
If he doesn't, he's useless.
If he sends a reminder, he's a pest;
If he doesn't he's slack.
If he asks for action, he's impertinent;
If he doesn't get things done, he's incompetent.
If the meeting's a success, it's the committee.
If it's a failure, the Secretary's to blame.
If he asks for instructions, he has no initiative;
If he doesn't, he's swollen-headed. [or dictatorial :-P ]
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust - if others won't do it,
The Secretary Must!
Regards,
Glenys
